Rivian’s opposition to CarPlay is well-documented, with CEO RJ Scaringe emphasizing the automaker’s focus on creating a native and integrated infotainment experience. In a new interview with Kara Swisher this week, Scaringe once again reiterated those thoughts, while simultaneously touting a “great working relationship with Apple.”Scaringe appeared on the On With Kara Swisher podcast today to talk in-depth about the R1S, R1T, and impending launch of the R2. “Two years ago, three years ago, this was a bigger issue because we didn’t have all those integrations,” Scaringe said. If Rivian then continues to make its own infotainment system better, then users should naturally gravitate towards that instead of CarPlay. I do wonder if Rivian will rethink its strategy if reports that Tesla is adding CarPlay support pan out.
